Also, pro-tip: When configuring Radarr (or Sonarr for that matter), be sure to define a recycle bin.
I woke up the next morning with all my media wiped. That was in June/July. I'm still recovering.
Jesus what did you do?
I had Radarr pointed to the "Movie" folder, then I changed it to the "Media" folder thinking that that would somehow be "better".
Whoosh It was all gone the next time I looked, because it couldn't find entries for whatever it came across, I guess. I ended up having to re-design the whole environment from pretty much scratch. The good news was that since I had "imported" my library initially, I had references to most of the stuff I lost.
That's just bad program design.
My own take on it is that it's, hmm, not really bad design, just unforgiving.
